Those That Beg For Money

For a true Sikh who walks on the path of Dharam (righteousness), it is not permitted to wander around begging from others; the Guru tells us:

Unfortunately, there are many organizations that feel the need to beg for charity. Some cry that they beg for others and not for themselves. However, Gurbani is very clear. The only begging should be from God. Gurbani confirms,

On a persoal level, you can freely choose to give to those who deserve your charity including those that are genuinely poor or destitute. You should try and help others with as much of your time or money as you can. Just be aware of those who beg. Show us a Sikh that begs for money and we will show you a person that is not a Sikh.
